Preparation

Step 1

Combine onion, celery, ham, sweet potatoes, chicken stock, water, salt & pepper in a large pot. (Remember to reduce the amount of salt if you are using chicken stock/broth that is already salted.)

Bring to a boil and turn down heat to low or medium/low to keep soup at a low simmer.
Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Meanwhile, whisk together the arrowroot and part of the almond milk (about 1/2 a cup) in a medium saucepan until smooth.
Add the rest of the almond milk and butter and bring to a boil.
Boil 1 minute to thicken.

Add the thickened milk mixture to the soup (after the sweet potatoes are tender) and stir until well incorporated.
